Summary
En los bosques suceden cosas sorprendentes: árboles que se comunican entre sí， árboles que aman y cuidan a sus hijos y a sus viejos y enfermos vecinos; árboles sensibles， con emociones， con recuerdos… ¡Increíble， pero cierto！
Peter Wohlleben， guarda forestal y amante de la naturaleza， nos narra en este libro fascinantes historias sobre las insospechadas y extraordinarias habilidades de los árboles。 Asimismo reúne por una parte los últimos descubrimientos científicos sobre el tema， y por otra sus propias experiencias vividas en los bosques; y con todo ello nos ofrece un emocionante punto de vista， una manera de conocer mejor a unos seres vivos con los que creemos estar familiarizados pero de los que desconocemos su capacidad de comunicación， su espiritualidad。
Descubramos， gracias a este libro， un mundo totalmente nuevo…

While I appreciated Wohlleben's love and passion for trees， I just couldn't keep up with his enthusiasm， and I really wanted to move on to something else。 I hope I gleaned enough for our library book discuss in a couple weeks。 While I appreciated Wohlleben's love and passion for trees， I just couldn't keep up with his enthusiasm， and I really wanted to move on to something else。 I hope I gleaned enough for our library book discuss in a couple weeks。 。。。more

"When trees are really hungry， they begin to scream。"I don't know if I'd say The Hidden Life of Trees was particularly entertaining， but it was interesting， informative and well-written。 I especially enjoyed the horror elements the writer sprinkled over some of the more mysterious aspects of tree-living。 This would be great reference material for a botanical horror story。 "When trees are really hungry， they begin to scream。"I don't know if I'd say The Hidden Life of Trees was particularly entertaining， but it was interesting， informative and well-written。 I especially enjoyed the horror elements the writer sprinkled over some of the more mysterious aspects of tree-living。 This would be great reference material for a botanical horror story。 。。。more

Wonderful book， oddly fascinating and deeply moving。 Completely transformed my understanding of trees。 Wohlleben writes with great insight from his years in forestry， exploring how trees live， grow， survive and reproduce。 The impression one gets of nature is of something fundamentally holistic， and revealing the simplistic creed of 'plant more trees' to be hollow and facile， if they merely provide grist for the timber mills。 Old forests， alive for thousands of years， have a fundamentally differe Wonderful book， oddly fascinating and deeply moving。 Completely transformed my understanding of trees。 Wohlleben writes with great insight from his years in forestry， exploring how trees live， grow， survive and reproduce。 The impression one gets of nature is of something fundamentally holistic， and revealing the simplistic creed of 'plant more trees' to be hollow and facile， if they merely provide grist for the timber mills。 Old forests， alive for thousands of years， have a fundamentally different ecosystem- in harmony as well as in opposition with other trees， beetles， fungi， ivy， birds， animals， and other creatures。 Although perhaps the book does get a bit too anthropomorphic， it is a much needed corrective to our traditional view of seeing trees as static objects to be used。 The author seeks to break down the distinction between animals and plants， just as the distinction between animals and humans has slowly been broken down- he compares bark to skin， the light-sensors on leaves to eyes， scent-messages to speech etc。 Trees are linked to each other in a 'wood wide web' of fungi， which share sugar， other nutrients， as well as messages- and this enables mother trees to channel trees to their young ones， as well as strong trees to channel nutrients to older and dead ones。 The author came across one of these remnants of an old tree in the forest， where only the rim of old stump remained at ankle-height， with no leaves whatsoever， yet the tree was alive。Trees even seen to have their own unique characters， some growing fast， some slow， some straight and some all-over-the-place， with enough genetic variation within a single species to be compared to entire animal species。 Trees in old forests cooperate with each other and can even regulate their own climate。 Some are specialized to particular habits and often grow very differently when transposed to other habitats。 Forests even act as water pumps， transporting water from trees near the sea to inland- where due to this it rains just as heavily in the middle of the Amazon as near the sea。 Leaves that are washed down to the sea leach acid from the water and help plankton grow which increases the number of fish， as experiments in Japan conclusively prove。 They purify the air， are 'mother ships of biodiversity' etc。 Immigrant plants have trouble adopting to the land and may sometimes turn invasive， but some nevertheless adapts。 They hibernate and sleep in winter and night which is why many die in 24/7 artificially lit rooms。 They release chemicals to scare away insects which makes the underside of walnut trees especially free from mosquitos， they deal quickly with wounds by repairing the bark and if fungi get in it signals the end of the tree。 However， even dead trees are sometimes useful-giving humus to the soil， a resting ground for various creatures or dams for fast-flowing streams。 The crown is an important part of the tree as are the roots， the author locates the trees' 'brains' in this area。 The author even opines that trees can learn in a charmingly titled 'tree school'， where they learn from experience to not repeat dangerous deeds like using up too much water and growing too fast。 Where else could these be located except in a memory of some kind， even if just some cells in the roots， even if unrecognizable in this form to us humans？ There is an etiquette too to life in the forest， as mother trees hog all the light initially which forces younger saplings to grow slower which encourages stability of form。 The conventional practice of planting trees， harvesting them after barely a 100 years is an abhorrence which does not let the true deep-rooted forest adapting to a habitat and changing the habitat to favour it to prosper。 Trees life on the scale of hundreds of years， and this explains our inability to understand them。 The author ends on a poignant note， noting the necessity for our dependence on forest-produce as a species， but which should ensure that some pockets of ancient forest are preserved and allowed to grow， as the world has enough for everyone's need but not everyone's greed。 Wohlleben's writing style is warm and avuncular and is a fascinating introduction to the field。 "Only people who understand trees are capable of protecting them"- and he does indeed succeed in breaking down （to a large extent） the Enlightenment division of the world into humans-animals-plants and locating life and dignity only in humans。 I remain on the look-out for a more rigorous philosophical treatment of the necessity of our relation to nature and the environment， and its 'life-giving soil'; as well as a critique of the Enlightenment status-quo on the environment。 。。。more

I don’t want to say that by any means this was a bad book。 But the science isn’t quite there for me。 It may be because of the translation but the author takes one study then seems to think this leads to a lot of other things being true and builds their world up from there。 Some interesting tree facts， but very weak evidence for the main point of the book。

A good， solid 4。5 stars。I'm unsure if Wohlleben anthropomorphizes the trees to the extent that he does because he is creating a drawn-out metaphor for us to understand his findings， or if he really believes all living beings are more alike than we humans suspect。 Either way， this is an interesting read， though a bit heavy-handed with its message of leaving the forest alone to do its own thing。 Some parts were a bit dry （though I am easily distracted）， but I enjoyed this。 A good， solid 4。5 stars。I'm unsure if Wohlleben anthropomorphizes the trees to the extent that he does because he is creating a drawn-out metaphor for us to understand his findings， or if he really believes all living beings are more alike than we humans suspect。 Either way， this is an interesting read， though a bit heavy-handed with its message of leaving the forest alone to do its own thing。 Some parts were a bit dry （though I am easily distracted）， but I enjoyed this。 。。。more

Fascinating read。 You will never view plants in the same way again。 Who knew that trees actually migrate！ Albeit the migration is not visible to the eye and takes decades， thus in one life time we are oblivious to the trees movements。

Upgraded to 5 stars because The Hidden Life of Trees activated my imagination， it stimulated my curiosity， and it captured my attention by being enchanting as hell。 It has that golden nectar I look for like a junkie。

I do feel like Treebeard is alive and Tolkien was right all along。 I will be looking for the Mother Tree on my domain。 A very poetic book on the interactions of trees; a walk in the forest will never be the same。What a fantastic world to discover。

Increíble como todos los seres vivos estamos conectados en una red enorme de información， en cada capítulo te abre el panorama y te muestra que los pequeños detalles son indispensables para un cambio gigantesco en la natura， leer siendo vegana me hizo comprender y tenerle cada vez más respeto a la naturaleza， los árboles son los grandes maestros de los cuales aún nos falta mucho por aprender， es un recorrido largo pero muy interesante。Ahora quisiera ser guardabosques para abrazar la madre tierra Increíble como todos los seres vivos estamos conectados en una red enorme de información， en cada capítulo te abre el panorama y te muestra que los pequeños detalles son indispensables para un cambio gigantesco en la natura， leer siendo vegana me hizo comprender y tenerle cada vez más respeto a la naturaleza， los árboles son los grandes maestros de los cuales aún nos falta mucho por aprender， es un recorrido largo pero muy interesante。Ahora quisiera ser guardabosques para abrazar la madre tierra y que de igual manera me permita ser su discípula y poder escucharla más de cerca。 No me queda nada más que compartir lo que he aprendido y sin dudas leeré todo de Peter Wohlleben 。。。more

Tras leer este libro， no he vuelto a ver el bosque de la misma manera， ni a sentir indiferencia ante el maltrato al que sometemos a los arboles en nuestras ciudades y jardines， aislándolos de su comunidad natural， a la vez que y debilitándolos ante tormentas y enfermedades。 Reduciendo su vida， al fin y al cabo， a una décima parte de lo que podrían vivir sin nuestra intervención， en un bosque， rodeados de sus congéneres。

This is a beautiful book and would make for a fun nature study for an older child。 It took me awhile to read just because it's best read slowly and pondered， rather like how trees slowly grow and adapt。 This is a beautiful book and would make for a fun nature study for an older child。 It took me awhile to read just because it's best read slowly and pondered， rather like how trees slowly grow and adapt。 。。。more

Really good and interesting book。 Just took me a minute to get through it。 It's full of a lot of information and at times made me feel like I was reading a textbook but overall there were some very fun and fascinating information within this book that I will not be forgetting anytime soon。 Pretty quick read too， again just a little boring here and there， worth it though。 I'd say a solid like 3。9 stars but just worthy enough to be given the 4 stars。 Really good and interesting book。 Just took me a minute to get through it。 It's full of a lot of information and at times made me feel like I was reading a textbook but overall there were some very fun and fascinating information within this book that I will not be forgetting anytime soon。 Pretty quick read too， again just a little boring here and there， worth it though。 I'd say a solid like 3。9 stars but just worthy enough to be given the 4 stars。 。。。more

This book is perfect for nature nerds （myself included）。 I love how Wohlleben explains tree behavior in a way that’s both compelling and digestible。 I have a new respect for the trees I see every day。 I also really like that the writer was able to make me feel emotionally invested in the future of our forests。 He touches on climate change and the importance of healthy forest without knocking me out with climate panic。 He seems to trust that anyone who chooses to read an entire book about trees a This book is perfect for nature nerds （myself included）。 I love how Wohlleben explains tree behavior in a way that’s both compelling and digestible。 I have a new respect for the trees I see every day。 I also really like that the writer was able to make me feel emotionally invested in the future of our forests。 He touches on climate change and the importance of healthy forest without knocking me out with climate panic。 He seems to trust that anyone who chooses to read an entire book about trees already cares deeply for the planet and understands the trouble our planet is in。 As someone who thinks about the state of our climate on a daily basis， I appreciate that。- Reviewed by Betsy Z。 。。。more
